this thread is kind of a pecan pie of sorts in that it is filled with nuts!

I think the only thing we can all agree on is that, no, Boston cream pie is not pie.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 21 December 2016 22:12 (seven years ago) link
The Dutch Apple Pie does look like a pie! It has the bottom bit and the crumble makes a kind of lid, so it's more pie-like to me than tart type things.
The 'kitchn' link pretty much firms up the true definition, but I still maintain the average (British) person would expect both top and bottom crusts on something claiming to be a pie. Meaning is use and all that.

There's no argument that pie is more versatile and pretty fantastic. But cake is CAKE.

There is no doubt that Trump prefers cake.

let me tell you something about cake: i want 5 (not four) cakes for this Christmas
because at Christmas, you eat cake
― surm, Saturday, 24 December 2016 18:26 (seven years ago) link
That is more than fair. Cake can have its day, just as every dog has its day.

i have eaten a roughly equal amount of cake and pie over the last 2 days, pie probably edging it

The English seem to favor puddings on Christmas, the poor sods.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Saturday, 24 December 2016 19:17 (seven years ago) link
Christmas pudding is great but i've got the feeling i'm the only one in this house who likes it
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 24 December 2016 19:20 (seven years ago) link
i will readily admit that i could not deny bread or banana pudding on any day
― surm, Saturday, 24 December 2016 19:21 (seven years ago) link
Don't even start a debate as to what is or is not a pudding.
That said, I just baked a dozen individual sticky toffee puddings topped with kumquats that counter the sweetness. Just waiting to be doused with toffee sauce and put under the broiler.

Should say I also made an annoyingly elaborate 4-layer boozy rum cake (took three days!). And my wife made a cheesecake. Or cream cheese pie, if you prefer.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 24 December 2016 19:54 (seven years ago) link
would eat kumquat toffee pudding and/or rum cake, obv
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 24 December 2016 19:57 (seven years ago) link
RUM CAKE omg
― surm, Saturday, 24 December 2016 20:09 (seven years ago) link
It's truly insane. Four-layer sponge cake soaked with rum syrup, with layers of rum-spiked cream in between and around the whole pile of cakes, then coated with a rum-spiked whipped cream. In total: 14 eggs, but no butter!
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 24 December 2016 20:26 (seven years ago) link

I think my wife is making a chocolate bourbon pecan pie for tomorrow's dessert festivities. At least I heard the idea floated and now it better happen otherwise a bunch of presents are going straight into the fireplace.

I seem to hear in my mind the faraway voice of an unknown genius who is saying:
"Hmmm. Lovely. Could anything be better than this pecan pie? (inspiration hits like a ton of bricks) Wait! I know! A bourbon pecan pie! But wait! Dare I lift my eyes yet higher, where on yonder heights I seem to see...yes! (swoons briefly) A chocolate bourbon pecan pie!"
At which point the owner of the voice expires in delight and a welter of exclamation points.

pecan pie + lemon meringue are my 2 pies
― surm, Saturday, 24 December 2016 21:06 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, lemon meringue or key lime or cherry for me but on the other hand anything with a healthy booze component is a-ok
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 24 December 2016 21:27 (seven years ago) link
also is Baked Alaska a pie?
― surm, Saturday, 24 December 2016 21:30 (seven years ago) link
No. It doesn't even have a crust, does it? Just ice cream in a shell of merengue on cake?
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 24 December 2016 21:36 (seven years ago) link
lol yes
― surm, Saturday, 24 December 2016 21:42 (seven years ago) link
'Just' ice cream in a shell of meringue on a cake. 'Just'.
